Default Any non-food use for olive oil?

Bought some extra virgin olive oil some years ago. It wasn't

brilliant,
didn't get used very much, and eventually got abandoned in favour

of a
better one. Still have two 1l bottles in the garage, long way past

the
use-by date, and it's got even worse with age - now smells rather

like
oil based gloss paint. (I'm dubious about contamination from the

plastic
bottles - only by it in glass bottles now.) Can anyone think of

anything
useful to do with it which doesn't involve eating it (or smelling

it)?

Use it in an oil lamp for emergency lighting.



A friend of mine recently bought 270 litres of Olive Oil that was date
expired for food use in 12/09, and she is running he Lan Rover
Discovery 300tdi on a 25% mix with diesel quite sucessfully.
